AuthorTopic: Fonts in Wine (Read 3179 times)

I use wine to install and run a couple of windoze programs that I can't get under linux.

they run fine the problem i'm having is that during the install of one of them i can't read the messages that show the licensing statement for instance. I get just garbled charectors . I suppose I'm missing the correct fonts but can't find any that seem to work and suggestions?

You could try putting Arial and Times New Roman in the \windows\fonts directory in your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows directory. You can just copy the TTF files from your actual Windows directory on a Windows partition.--GrannyGeek

Thank you I'll give that a try later today also.. The problem I was having is not in running the program it self. the fonts in the program seem to be fine.. but when installing the program the informational box that come up are garbled .. Lisence agreements and such.
